Electric autonomous vehicle start-up (cripe that’s a mouthful) Faraday Future hasn’t had the kind of start to 2017 that it probably expected after debuting its flagship vehicle, the FF 91, at this year’s CES conference. It’s been... . But we’ve caught FF 91 prototypes moseying about town in recent weeks, and the start-up showed off a new one with a slick matte black finish at Mother’s Car Corral that took place at the Toyota Grand Prix Of Long Beach last weekend, . It looks sharp. FF should make the car look like this.

The FF 91's not a bad looking car, but from the get-go it’s had this weird, sort-of all-too futuristic vibe to it. The retractable LiDAR sensor on the vehicle’s hood makes for a fun idea, I suppose, but it comes across as... clunky, even gimmicky. That’s why, after Electrek’s Fred Lambertpointed out this new beta earlier today, I think FF should bring the FF 91 to production with only matte black as an exterior option.

The production vehicle displayed at CES has a disconcerting face, and from certain angles, it looks like it’d fit nicely into the frame of a 1960s film directed by a guy who’s guessing what the Car Of The Future looks like.

The all-black look is better. Do that, FF—.

Correction: The location of where the prototype was at the Mother’s Car Corral in Long Beach, not the Motor world Hype show in Long Beach, as it was reported by Electrek.
